Interaction of a plant virus protein with the signature Cajal body protein coilin facilitates salicylic acid-mediated plant defence responses

What is it about?

Coilin is a signature protein of prominent subnuclear structures, Cajal bodies. We show for the first time that this protein is involved in plant defence, responding to virus infection by recognition a plant virus protein and activating salicylic acid-dependent defence response.
